Because, Sometimes You Need to Complain

I had zero intention to show up to the party today, but I need to vent. There's been a lot on my mind lately, so I'm going to just let it all go here.

Work is tough lately. I really am very glad I have this job, and I love what I do there. But I just have to say, dealing with people there lately has just been exhausting. I have a new boss. He's a micro manager. I'm not sure how to deal with it because I'm not used to that sort of manager. I know what I'm supposed to do throughout the day, and with him checking on me every hour I feel like I'm not getting as much done. It's reflected in that there's been a lot of quasi-disasters at work lately. I will be indulging on adult beverages tonight after the kids are in bed.

Josh's doctor put him on new medicine last week. This of course means that his body is getting the old medicine out of his system and adjusting to the new medicine. Josh is bi-polar and suffers from depression. With him adjusting to the new medicine this means he's moody and grumpy and difficult to live with. I know I shouldn't complain because his "moods" have been few and far between lately, but I need to complain. If I don't I take it out on him and it's not his fault that he's adjusting on his medicine. It's just so hard, y'all.

Sunday I'm supposed to go to a car dealership to find out what if I can get a car. AKA Talk to a salesman, have him convince me I need to be in (fill in the blank for whatever car), find out I need X amount of dollars for a down payment, and probably go home disappointed. I'm trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm having a hard time because this week has just made me feel sort of negative about everything. Prayers, please?

Last night I got literally ZERO hours of sleep. Zander as well. Zander was up all night complaining that his mouth was hurting. I was thinking that it might've been a tooth ache, but of course he wouldn't let me actually look in his mouth to see what the issue was. Finally at 5 AM he let me look. Turns out he bit his cheek at some point yesterday and he had a really bad boo-boo on the cheek.

I really wanted to participate in the blogger love link up today per the norm, but I felt way too behind in reading blogs to really give 100% to showing my love. Sorry y'all. I do love y'all but I'm just not caught up on blogs. So for now, I'm going to count down the hours until it's time to go home. And pray that when I do get home Zander isn't in a foul mood. Fingers crossed that he napped at school today. Until next week, lovelies.

you know, I took a buzzfeed quiz on what men I attract, and it was pirates? I know the struggle of a micromanager, so I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. I hope this weekend is nice, calm, and relaxing!!

Girl I am so sorry things are so rough right now! I think this is where your friends come in to encourage and to say- you're doing the best you can and it's enough. XO. Tomorrow is a new day. Deep breaths and don't forget to ask God to TAKE IT ALL.

Awe, girl!! Prayers coming your way! Sounds like you need to drive yourself to the spa in your new car ;)! I hope things turn around for you. I have never ever worked with a micro-managing manager and I don't know what I would do if I had to. Hopefully things will ease up and work will become less stressful. I'll be thinking about you and definitely sending prayers your way!

Oh man! You deserve an adult beverage. And maybe take your frustrations out on Josh in a more pleasant way. Say, I don't know, in the bedroom perhaps? #bowchickabowwowThings will get better. Just breathe:)

I have no idea how I missed this post?!? But I guess I knew a lot of this stuff from all the texting...YAY us!! And hoping this new week is off to a better start than last week ended. I DO know you showed up to work today in style!! :)
